Tour of Bruges (Brugge) in Belgium
|
This private tour of Bruges (Brugge) is the only one that Paris Luxury Tours offers outside of France, and which also does not use a vehicle. That is both because Bruges is a pedestrian's paradise, and because one gets to it in far greater comfort using high speed trains from Paris.
Within two and a half hours from our departure from Paris, this escorted tour enters Bruges, once-upon-a-time the most economically vibrant city in northern medieval Europe.
|
 Its steep economic decline since then has preserved, for our perfect delight, a town whose ancient stones ooze the charm of a place forgotten by time, appearing almost as it was when it was created in the Middle Ages. No neon signs, no traffic, no skyscrapers, no grafitti: just pure medieval history and aesthetics, and a population so happy to live in it that they are the essence of civilization.
Our escorted tour of Bruges will take you to the paintings of Memling, the Lake of Love of the Minnewater, the Carillon of Belfort, the Markt and Burg Squares, a Michelangelo Madonna and Child sculpture, the delightful Beigijnhof Convent, exquisite canals, cobble-stoned alleys, acres of Bruge's lovely lace, a wealth of delicious chocolate, refined cuisine, and over 450 sorts of beer. For lovers of Flemish art, this guided Bruges tour can also show you works by Jan Van Eyck, Hieronymus Bosch, Rogier van der Weyden and Jan Provoost.
Touring Bruges is a year-round delight, so do not think of it as only a fair weather destination. The austerity of winter in this medieval town is as attractive as its lush summers, giving you the additional pleasure of seeing skaters on frozen canals, the snow and ice sculpture festival, and the intimacy provided by warm fires in cosy taverns and restaurants, splendidly warding off winter chills.
Cost for 1-3 persons: 850 € per group

If you have the time to devote to it, consider converting this guided tour of Bruges into an overnight tour of two or three days. There is more than enough to see to justify this, and the city has a wealth of charming hotels that offer superb and reasonable packages. Better, spending more than a day in Bruges helps ensure that you benefit from one of travel's unique blessings: an amazing sense of perspective.
Cost for overnight Bruges tours: upon request.
